About a month ago I received word from Dr. Raphael Nogier that he decided to bring a friend and colleague with him to teach at the Auriculotherapy Success seminar in October, Dr. Michel Marignan, a world-renowned expert in posturology. At first I was a little confused. How could anyone possibly...

I attended my first Nogier seminar in 2013. Frankly, I went because it was HIM—Raphael Nogier—the current world expert in the pioneering technique his father, Dr. Paul Nogier, developed: auriculotherapy.

The Economics of Acupuncture Failure You’re a good acupuncturist. Well-educated, dedicated and passionate to be sure, but are you successful? Now, I don’t mean success, as in serving humanity and helping people get better. That’s a given. No, I mean, are you making a living at it? Can you pay...
